Portrayal of Sexuality as Found in Muriel Spark’s “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” and “The Driver’s Seat”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the portrayal of sexuality in Spark’s two works “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” (1961) and “The Driver’s Seat” (1970). Muriel Spark presents different portrayals of women and sexuality within two of her works, “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” and “The Driver’s Seat”. In “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” Spark uses strategies to allow the reader to become aware of her constant comparison of Brodie’s life with that of a man’s. As Brodie becomes more in control during the “prime” of her life, her character is physically and mentally compared with that of strong historical figures. In addition, Spark shows Brodie as a representative of the growing feminism throughout the 1930s in which women began to travel more on their own and live their lives outside of the religious confines of the past. The central character, Lise, in “The Driver’s Seat” however, portrays an embittered and business-like modern women. Spark uses business imagery to describe Lise and how women in the 1960s modern business world have become ordinary, tight-lipped and are judged on how many personnel are “above them” or “below them”. In addition, Lise tries to search for a man who has a “lack of absence” which indicates that men as well as women are affected by the impersonalized nature of the modern world.

Pregnancy Discrimination Act Of 1978
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. Discrimination in the workplace has long been an issue of inequity and prejudice toward certain groups or individuals; that laws now exist to deter such undemocratic policymaking speaks to the tremendous need to pioneer for major change with regard to discriminatory practices. Historically, pregnant women have been discriminated against in the workplace to such a degree that not only were they refused employment because they were expecting, but they also lost their jobs when it came time for them to leave work and give birth. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA), however, established an entirely different set of rules by which Human Resource Management (HRM) departments have had to comply.

Prostitution: Differing Feminist Views
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page overview of the inroads made to understanding female prostitution which have resulted with feminist research. Notes that feminist research on female prostitution has in itself exhibited a two-sided approach to the issues. On the one hand, feminist research indicts female prostitution as a system of exploitation and sexual abuse and as an institution which results in sexual subordination and enslavement. Other feminist research, however, views female prostitution as a means by which women can empower themselves and materially prosper by preying on the needs and desires of men. Summarizes each view and concludes by noting that the key to understanding prostitution is a fuller understanding of the applications of the words "choice" and "consent". Bibliography lists 11 sources.
